[Squaredancing] Theme Dances

[ppardee at frontiernet.net]

Here are my answers.  By the way, what is a 3R presentation?

1. Monthly
2.Own club participation
3. No
4. Yes to both
5. Some of each -- at one point this year, we went around the room at a 
board meeting and asked people to shout out a theme for a particular
month. 
It was fun, and we got new ideas that everyone loved when we 
implemented
them.
6. Most of the time no. Occasionally, such as a t-shirt/sweatshirt night,
or 
hat night, as well as Halloween, we do offer prizes. We ask a few of the
dancers whoa re not in costume to be the judges.
7. No. This is a club activity and should be decided by the board.
